Pitt Connection Transfer Guide Guideacademic/pdf/ccbc-gtp.pdftranscript from the school where they are earned, nor, usually, can it exceed the number earned in the corresponding course

June 2000 Greetings! Welcome to the Pitt Connection Transfer Guide. I hope that you find it to be a useful tool as you plan your academic program in anticipation of your successful transfer to the University of Pittsburgh. We designed the Guide after extensive consultation with transfer counselors from several community colleges, and students like you, who want to make the most out of their community college experience. Used alone, it can be an excellent resource; I encourage you, however, to also work closely with both your Transfer Counselor and the Office of Admissions and Financial Aid at Pitt as you plan your coursework. We look forward to your becoming a member of the University of Pittsburgh community and to working with you as you pursue your academic and professional goals. Good luck with your studies, and remember to keep in touch as you progress toward your transfer to the University of Pittsburgh. Best Wishes, Barry Duerr Coordinator of Transfer Recruitment

Using The Pitt Connection Transfer Guide The Pitt Connection Transfer Guide is a resource designed to assist you with:

* Planning your community college coursework so that you can ensure a smooth transfer to the University of Pittsburgh

* Maximizing the number of credits you can earn at the community college prior to your

transfer to Pitt

* Learning important information about Pitt, academic requirements, and the transfer admissions process

* Familiarizing yourself with the many educational opportunities available at the

University of Pittsburgh Used alone, the Pitt Connection Transfer Guide can be a very useful tool; however, we strongly encourage you to also work closely with:

* Your faculty advisor

* The Transfer Counselor at your community college

* Your admissions counselor at the University of Pittsburgh

(It is never too early to plan your transfer. To schedule an appointment with your admissions counselor at Pitt, please call (412) 624-7488).

The Pitt Connection Transfer Guide is divided into several sections. The section titled About Pitt is a collection of “fast facts” that answers the most often-asked questions about Pitt. You also will find sections devoted to transfer information about the ten undergraduate schools of the University of Pittsburgh. In the College of Arts and Sciences (CAS) section for example, are the University's General Transfer Policies. You should become familiar with these since they form the foundation of your transfer to Pitt.

The CAS Skills and General Education section describes the philosophy behind CAS's graduation requirements and the liberal arts component of your education. It is also designed to be a worksheet that you can use to monitor the courses that you have completed at the community college that will satisfy your Skills and General Education requirements at Pitt. It is meant to be used in conjunction with the sections on Transferable Courses. Transferable Courses has three subsections: Basic Skills, General Education, and General Electives. In these subsections you will find an alphabetical listing of all the community college courses that will transfer to Pitt in one of the three areas listed above. The community college course is listed in the first column, its Pitt equivalent (if one exists) is in the second and third columns, the number of credits it will transfer as is in the fourth column, and the specific Pitt graduation requirement that it satisfies is in the fifth column. Use this section in conjunction with the worksheet to plan your progress towards satisfying your Basic Skills and General Education requirements at Pitt. Also, please keep in mind that the courses you are completing at the community college, in addition to satisfying a Pitt graduation requirement, may also satisfy a requirement for your intended major at Pitt. Consult with your transfer counselor or your admissions counselor at Pitt for recommendations. There also is a section titled Academic Opportunities in CAS. Here we have provided brief abstracts about the majors, pre-professional programs, and certificate options available through CAS. For more detailed descriptions of programs and major requirements, please see the CAS Bulletin. The remaining sections of the Pitt Connection Transfer Guide are dedicated to the other undergraduate schools at Pitt: the College of Business Administration (CBA), College of General Studies (CGS), and the Schools of Education, Engineering, Health and Rehabilitation Sciences, Information Science, Nursing, Pharmacy, and Social Work. Key Abbreviations: Under the Pitt Course # and Curricular Requirement column, you may see the abbreviations NE and NONCAS. A course designated as NE is transferable. However, that course has no equivalent course at Pitt. NONCAS means that the course is transferable, that there is a Pitt equivalent but not in the College of Arts and Sciences. Students may complete no more than 18 NONCAS credits. IMPORTANT: The provisions and contents of this document are subject to change at any time at the University's sole discretion. It is intended to serve only as a general source of information about the University and is in no way intended to state or imply contractual terms.

College of Arts and Sciences

General Transfer Policies The college offers the degrees of Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science. All natural science majors are awarded Bachelor of Science Degrees. If you complete a major outside the natural sciences, you will be awarded the Bachelor of Arts Degree. GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR CREDIT TRANSFER TO CAS: All credits available for transfer are subject to the following guidelines. 1. Only courses that have reasonable counterparts in the College of Arts and Sciences

curriculum are eligible for transfer (see guideline 6 for exception). 2. The number of credits granted for a given course cannot exceed the number on the

transcript from the school where they are earned, nor, usually, can it exceed the number earned in the corresponding course in the College of Arts and Sciences.

3. No transfer credits can be part of the final 30 required for a degree. These must be earned

in residence. In interpreting this regulation, credits earned on regional campuses are considered as transfer.

4. All transfer credits must have been earned within 12 years of the date when the Arts and

Sciences degree requirements will be completed. 5. All transfer credits are subject to re-evaluation if and when you transfer from one school to

another within the University of Pittsburgh. 6. A maximum of 18 non-College of Arts and Sciences credits may be counted in the

minimum of 120 required for graduation. 7. If another school at Pitt transfers a class, it can be transferred to CAS in the non-CAS

category. A minimum of 18 credits in this category can count towards graduation. 8. At least 50 percent of the credits required in your major subject must be earned in the

College. 9. Not more than 60 credits may be transferred from a two-year college. No more than 90

may be transferred from a four-year college. If 60 or more credits have been earned at a four-year school, no transfer credit will be granted for credits earned subsequently at a two-year school.

10. If a course for which advanced-standing credit has been granted is repeated, the advanced-standing credit is canceled.

11. Course work earned in approved foreign study programs may not constitute more than 15

of the final 30 credits. These credits are awarded on a Satisfactory/Audit basis. In addition, 30 of the last 60 credits must be earned in residence.

CLEP: CLEP or Credit for Life Experience credits do not transfer to the College of Arts and Sciences; however, if you feel you could pass a test in a certain subject for credit, see Credit by Examination below. CREDIT BY EXAMINATION: You may earn credits toward graduation not only by taking and successfully finishing courses but also by taking a special examination. Each test for credit by examination must be arranged with the department offering the course for which credit is desired. The examination must be in a specific course offered by the Faculty of Arts and Sciences. Departments set their own policies as to the specific courses for which students may request credit by examination, the time and type of examination, and the number of courses among those required for the major for which credit may be earned for examination. Normally, the examinations are administered in September. GUIDELINES AND SUGGESTIONS FOR STRUCTURING YOUR CURRICULUM: The structure of a degree from CAS varies depending on your major and how many classes you need to take to fulfill skills and graduation requirements. Typically, skills and graduation requirements fill from 51 to 68 of the 120 credits required for a degree, and your major, from 30 to 82 credits (CAS Business/Dual Major). If you wish to transfer to the College of Arts and Sciences at Pitt in the future, we suggest that you concentrate on the following at your present college: 1. Satisfy the skills requirements — Composition, Algebra, Foreign Language. 2. Begin taking comparable courses to meet the General Education Requirements. 3. Begin taking the introductory course(s) in your expected major.

CAS Skills and General Education Requirements The faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences has defined a set of curricular requirements to be satisfied by all CAS students. These requirements, which form the foundation of a liberal arts education, are of two types: Skills Requirements and General Education Requirements. A. SKILLS REQUIREMENTS: Skills Requirements help ensure that all students attain

reasonable levels of competence in writing, quantitative and formal reasoning, and foreign language.

1. WRITING REQUIREMENTS:

The writing requirement consists of three levels.

a. Intensive Composition

b. General Writing

You can satisfy this requirement by completing a course (with a C or better) that is equivalent to Pitt's General Writing course. Please see the Basic Skills section for courses that may qualify.

Transfer students who have not completed a college-level English composition course must take the CAS writing placement test. You should arrange to take this test when you schedule your new student orientation.

c. W-courses: Students are required to complete one W-course and a Program W

course in the department of their academic major. W-courses and Program W's provide students with writing instruction in specific academic subjects. The Program-W ensures that students gain writing experience in their major.

The W-courses involve a significant amount of writing and are taken by students after they have completed the composition requirement; therefore, community college students should take them after they transfer to CAS. However, we do recommend that you take composition courses before you transfer.

2. QUANTITATIVE AND FORMAL REASONING

a. ALGEBRA: College Level

If the Algebra requirement is not satisfied by the Math SAT or by previous coursework, transfer students are required to take the CAS Algebra placement test prior to the first term of enrollment in Arts and Sciences. Students who score below a certain level on the Algebra placement test must complete an approved course with a C- or better during the first year of enrollment in Arts and Sciences.

b. QUANTITATIVE: Courses approved for this requirement include courses in

formal logic, computer science, mathematics, statistics, quantitative methods, and information science.

3. FOREIGN LANGUAGE: All CAS students are required to demonstrate elementary

proficiency in a foreign language in one of the following ways:

a. Three years of study of a single foreign language in high school, passed with an average grade of C or better over three years.

b. A score of 450 or better on a CEEB foreign language achievement test. Students

should notify the Dean's Office if they qualify for this option.

c. Completion of the first and second levels of a foreign language at the University of Pittsburgh with minimum grades of C-.

d. Completion of a second level foreign language course earned at another college with

a grade of C or better. B. GENERAL EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS (13 Classes)

College of Business Administration The College of Business Administration (CBA) awards the Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (BSBA) degree with majors in: • Accounting • Finance • General Management • Marketing CBA is the undergraduate division of Pitt’s Joseph M. Katz Graduate School of Business. As a division of the Katz School, CBA is fully accredited by the American Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), a status achieved by about one-fourth of U.S. business programs. Transfer Admission to CBA Admission is available for the Fall (September), Spring (January), and Summer (May) Terms on a rolling basis. To ensure full consideration, please apply as early as possible. The BSBA Program may be completed full-time or part-time, in the daytime or evening. CBA also offers the business component of the CAS/Business Dual Major. The dual major program allows students to combine a general business major with any liberal arts major offered by Pitt’s College of Arts and Sciences. (See CAS/Business Dual Major for details.) Sample Schedule It is recommended that you transfer to CBA after completing approximately 30 credits. By following the sample schedule below, you will be able to enter CBA at the sophomore level and be on track for

completing the program in three additional years if you attend full-time. (Call CBA at 412-383-9600 for scheduling assistance.) The sample schedule includes these business prerequisites: • Business Calculus • Introductory Microeconomic Theory • Introduction to Psychology It also includes courses which meet CBA skills and general education requirements. When scheduling, remember... • You must earn a grade of 'C' or better in a course for it to transfer. • You may need to take other math and/or English courses before taking the calculus and

composition courses in this schedule. If this is the case, please adjust the sample schedule to include those courses during the first term. See your advisor for details.

• If you haven’t already fulfilled CBA’s foreign language requirement with high school coursework (see foreign language on next page), you may complete it before transferring to Pitt. Substitute a language course each semester for one of the general requirements in the sample schedule.

SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING ENGLISH WRITING REQUIREMENT

To ensure that all engineering students attain a reasonable level of competence in writing, the School of Engineering requires students to complete two levels of English writing courses. The two levels include: 1) a basic English composition course; and, 2) a course where students will gain writing experience in a specific academic subject area. The writing requirement is further explained below. I. COMPOSITION

All students enrolled in the School of Engineering are expected to complete the University of Pittsburgh’s basic English composition course entitled General Writing-Intensive (GWI). However, transfer students have several options.

A. Engineering transfer students who have prior college-level writing experience may

request an assessment of their skill level by either

1. taking a Writing Placement Test; or, 2. submitting for review two college-level writing samples. An evaluation of the test

results/writing samples will determine placement in or exemption from the GWI course.*

B. Community College of Beaver County (CCBC) students who have earned a grade of a

“C” or better (“C-” is unacceptable) in HE 155 English Composition I will be automatically waived from taking GWI at the University of Pittsburgh (Pitt). CCBC students who have not completed HE 155 or have earned below a grade of “C” in the course will be required either to take the GWI course or follow the assessment options outlined in paragraph A.

II. WRITING EXPERIENCE

In addition to the composition requirement, all engineering students must take one writing course, designated in the University of Pittsburgh course description listings as “WRIT”. Students may fulfill the writing experience requirement by taking a course in any area, including but not limited to Humanities, Social Sciences or Natural sciences.

Student’s transferring from a community college must take the writing experience course at the University of Pittsburgh; therefore, no such courses will be accepted for transfer from a community college.

• Students must abide by the writing assessment results and can choose only one of the

options. Engineering transfer students should consult with their academic advisors for specific instructions for taking the placement test or submitting the writing samples.

School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences Application to SHRS should be made in the Spring Term of your sophomore year. Admission is on a competitive basis. A minimum of 60 credits and specific prerequisite courses must be successfully completed prior to matriculation. Please note that some programs also require volunteer work and recommendations. We also suggest setting up a Pitt Connection Transfer Appointment to discuss the admission and financial aid process as well as other questions you may have about your program.

School of Nursing There are two categories of transfer students who apply to the University of Pittsburgh School of Nursing: the R.N. applicant—a student who has completed his/her basic nursing education in a hospital or associate degree program, and transfer students interested in obtaining their basic nursing education. We recommend contacting the School of Nursing for an appointment for a regularly scheduled group information session. At this session any questions you may have about the transfer process will be answered.

Student Affairs Office School of Nursing University of Pittsburgh 336 Victoria Street Pittsburgh, PA 15261 (412) 624-2407

If you are unable to attend a group advising session, leave your name and a telephone number and you will be contacted by someone in the Student Affairs Office. A quality point average of 2.40 on a 4.00 point scale from an accredited college or university is the minimum required for consideration for admittance to the School of Nursing B.S.N. program for non RN's. Acceptance or transfer to the School of Nursing is contingent on the meeting of admissions and academic requirements, and upon vacancies in the class. Since the undergraduate nursing curriculum requires sequential courses in the sciences and nursing, completion of the program usually requires four additional years. The present Freshman/Sophomore B.S.N. curriculum is listed below. Classes that may be completed at CCBC are noted with suggestions for classes that will meet the requirement. Students who have already completed a hospital or associate degree program in nursing will be admitted to an alternate curriculum: the RN Options curriculum for the B.S.N. or M.S.N. degree. Admission requirements and prerequisites to this program differ from the basic B.S.N. program. Information on these programs may also be obtained by contacting the Student Affairs Office for an information packet or an appointment for an information session. The B.S.N. curriculum is listed on the following pages. Classes that may be completed at CCBC are noted by #, with suggestions for classes that will meet the requirement.
